This makes a lot of sense to me.
We have been tracking these (see three variants below) in ScanCode and
DejaCode for quite a while:
-
https://github.com/nexB/scancode-toolkit/blob/develop/src/licensedcode/data/licenses/google-patent-license.LICENSE
-
https://github.com/nexB/scancode-toolkit/blob/develop/src/licensedcode/data/licenses/google-patent-license-webm.LICENSE
-
https://github.com/nexB/scancode-toolkit/blob/develop/src/licensedcode/data/licenses/google-patent-license-fuschia.LICENSE
The variants for Go and WebRTC look mostly the same.
However I do not think of these as exceptions, but rather as plain license(s).
